Yes, this was one of problems. I had unfinished transaction when rpm was
updated to 4.7. Because of that yum/rpm thought that I had installed both
new version of alsa-lib (and many other packages) and old one. This is
reason why I was unable to install 586 packages. There weren't actually any
duplicates, I think that rpm database was not cleared properly.

Well, yum-complete-transaction cleared that problem by removing pretty much
every package on my test system :), including glibc. This is probably
bug/feature that I should report against yum.
